Description

Dennis Wheatley biographer Phil Baker provides a brief history of author nearly 80 book career, covers the whole of Wheatley’s contentious relationship with Hammer studios, including his displeasure with The Lost Continent (1968) and his utter loathing of To the Devil a Daughter (1976). The feature is a examination of one of horror fiction’s influential voices and paints a picture that informs both The Devil Rides Out and Hammer’s occult output in their latter years.
